  1. (rare) A person who has their hair shaved off.
    • 1822, John Wilson, Noctes Ambrosianæ, volume 1, page 243:
      It must have been a serious affair for the last score of shavées. When the betting became loud, 6 to 4 on time, I am surprised the barber got his patients to sit.
    • 1888, The Book Buyer, volume 5, page 61:
      The barber was shaving some one in the next chair to me, and he asked his patient—barbers and surgeons were one and the same in days gone by, so I do not see why the shavee should not be called a patient.
